Unique evidence-based tool integrates into routine care and aligns education and certification requirements with U.S. clinician workflows
BMJ Best Practice has expanded its Comorbidities Manager to cover 75 acute clinical topics, directly embedding evidence-based guidance for patients with multiple conditions into clinicians' daily workflows. These include high-burden conditions, such as heart failure, type 2 diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, chronic kidney disease, atrial fibrillation, and depression.
This addresses a critical gap in care as most existing guidelines focus on single diseases, neglecting the growing complexity of multimorbidity.
The Comorbidities Manager integrates current U.S. guidelines with expert-reviewed evidence, enabling clinicians to make tailored, patient-specific decisions in a streamlined workflow that effectively accounts for co-existing conditions.
This unique, evidence-based tool is the only point-of-care resource to combine acute and comorbidity management in this way to support whole-patient care.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than half of U.S. adults live with multiple chronic conditions, yet clinicians must often navigate fragmented guidance designed for single conditions. By embedding comorbidity insights directly into core topics, BMJ Best Practice helps to reduce complexity, support earlier intervention, and improve care coordination.
BMJ Best Practice has also introduced a new integration with Cleveland Clinic, enabling U.S. clinicians to record and submit Continuing Medical Education (CME) and Maintenance of Certification (MOC) credits during routine use. This reduces administrative burden and aligns learning with clinical workflow and certification requirements.
Dr Kieran Walsh, Clinical Director at BMJ Group, said: "Clinicians face the dual challenge of making complex decisions while meeting increasing professional and regulatory requirements. BMJ Best Practice addresses this by bringing together trusted, evidence-based guidance and accredited learning within a single workflow, empowering clinicians to manage the whole patient with confidence and greater efficiency."
